Look here to see what the FOV of the AF100 sensor gives you.

The comparative 'crop' depends on where your relative comparator is - if you're used to 5D (stills full frame) it's a 2X FOV/Sensor crop... if 35mm/APS-C it's 1.3X.

There are lots of posts and threads on this topic - search in the GH1/2 and AF100 forums.

The first post in this thread has a lot of the info you're looking for

And here's a graphic comparing the size of most of the digital sensor out there.

When I hear "crop factor" it's like nails on a chalk board. No offense. This was never talked about until the DSLR's came into play.

Thnx, glad to know this.

How about the Sony FS 100, I believe it is, any crop on it?

Same sensor as the F3 - again, use the FOV calculator, it's your friend!

It's approx the same as APS-C

Mount a lens to the camera..does it do what you want...if otherwise...mount another one... and learn.

Crop Factor ...who cares what it is ....and what do you with the information even when you know. What does a crop factor of 1.2 or 1.8 mean in the real world?


FWIW. Unless its a M4/3 Lens on the M4/3 Mount ..there is a crop factor. Thats kind of obvious really.
